A Stress-Free Christmas

45 - A Stress-Free Christmas

0:00

Ponder this. Do you get stressed each year preparing for Christmas? Do you struggle with what to give others as a meaningful gift? Do you have limited funds, but an ever-growing gift list? Bring on the Christmas chaos, and for many, the holiday anxieties.

Is there another way, a better way, to bring joy to others on Christmas, other than with a purchased and wrapped gift? You betcha! The perfect gift is the gift of prayer.

How can you give the gift of prayer, you may ask? You simply take quiet moments in the days and weeks leading to Christmas and pray for the intentions of people on your gift list. Then, write them a note telling them you’ve prayed for them as your Christmas gift this year. Ask them to return the gift.

Yes, prayer is the one gift that is even better when returned. With less shopping for presents, you will have more time, less stress, and a healthier bank account. Do not be at all concerned that there will be fewer wrapped presents under the tree this year—let it be a sign of your prayer-filled Christmas for all to witness.
